A second later, that cry was answered as he thrust forward, filling her so full it nearly hurt. A cry of pain and pleasure tore from her lips and she pressed her cheek into the soft forest floor beneath her. He pulled her hips up and she went easily as he began to thrust into her with an almost desperate pace.
His hands slid up her sides and hooked under her body, shoving her bra up to release her breasts and he grabbed them and began teasing and pinching at her nipples. Every touch sent flames of desire straight to her core. Her body tightened and clenched around him, eliciting a groan from Cole in response.
Amanda couldn’t resist thrusting back against him even harder, demanding that he give her more. It wasn’t like her to be this way. It wasn’t like her to be willing to rut like an animal in the woods in the middle of the day. None of this was like her, and yet everything about it felt right.
She felt the swelling in his cock as he continued to plunge into her with ever-increasing speed and fervor. Each thrust began to draw cries from her lips which grew louder with each penetration. Then it happened, his thrusts halted into those quick, hard jerks as his body lodged within hers. She felt him straighten and his hands slid down to grip her hips and they both let out a cry that echoed through the surrounding woods. Their cry was answered by a chorus of five human howls from the direction of the road.
The other voices crashed through the lusty fog in Amanda’s brain and a sense of doom began to fill her. One hand lifted to cover her face and she whimpered softly as she began to realize what she’d just done. Damn him! Damn him and what he did to her!
Cole leaned down and pulled her hair off of her neck and began to kiss and lick along the bite mark on her neck.
Amanda shivered and her body clenched around him as goosebumps broke out all over her skin. She hated that it felt so good to have him kissing and licking at the wound. She hated that she didn’t want him to stop and she hated that she did want him to stop. She turned her head away, hiding her face in the dirt.
She already knew that there was no escape for her until his body relaxed. There was nothing she could do that wouldn’t hurt them both and so she waited.
“Mine.” Cole whispered against her ear.
Amanda ground her teeth together as she lay there, digging her fingers into the dirt once more. She had no response for him. She could deny it all day long. She could deny it to herself and to everyone she ever met that she was not his. Her body; however, said something altogether different. Her body reacted exactly the way he wanted it to whenever he wanted it to and it was as if she had no control over it whatsoever. How could she deny that?
The minutes dragged on and on. Each and every kiss to her neck or along the back of her ear sent her senses spiraling out of control. Every time he nipped her neck or nibbled her earlobe or made that damned sexy growling noise he liked to make when he was happy was like a little knife digging deeper and deeper into her heart.
She lay there beneath him on the ground; feeling more at home and more at peace than she ever had before all the while, trapped by their bodies and her heart broke a little bit more. This was something she could not have. This was something she would never be able to have again.
Everything outside went quiet and Amanda leaned back, turning to stare at the door. “It’s awfully quiet out there.”Emma turned as well to stare at the door with a look of concern and hope on her face. “Do you think that’s a good sign or a bad sign?”Amanda shook her head. “I don’t know. I hope it’s a good sign.”Suddenly a howl echoed through the area and Amanda jumped in surprise.Is it over with? Have we won?There was no reply for several moments and Amanda’s fear suddenly kicked up by several notches.Cole? What was the howl—Her question was cut off when a host of other howls joined in with the first. Amanda’s tension relaxed, but only slightly. She offered Emma a slightly nervous smile. “I think that sounds like a good thing.”A moment later, there was the sound of scratching at the door. Amanda nodded to Emma. “Check first, look and see who and what it is. Don’t open it until you’re sure.”Emma nodded and hurried over to the door. She peeked through the window and then she lau
“I guess it was about the next morning when I began to hear thoughts.” She smiled then and shook her head. “They were simple thoughts. So simple. He couldn’t think much at all, but they were the sweetest words I’d ever heard. Things like ‘Pretty’ and ‘Mine’ and ‘Love’. Just short words like that.”Emma took a shaky breath and let it out slowly. “Nobody had ever called me pretty before. Not until Sean. I was just the nerdy science girl that everyone liked to make fun of. Never the pretty girl. Sean not only saved me, but he gave me the one thing I’d never had before. He made me feel beautiful. And he kept me alive. We kept each other alive.”Her voice grew sad and quieter still. “Once Gibson figured out that we were not going to kill each other, and that we were only making each other stronger, he took me away. He locked me in that cage and we were never allowed to see each other again. They began testing on me next. It didn’t matter though. I could still hear Sean’s thoughts. I could
Some metal shelving stretched from the wall out into the center of the room a good way. The shelves were covered in empty beakers and boxes as well as bottles of chemicals and other tools.Amanda looked back over at Emma. “So how did you end up here? Did they catch you when they caught the grey wolf?”Emma shook her head. “No. I—“ She sat on one of the other chairs and fidgeted with the sleeves of the sweater. “I used to work here.” She didn’t lift her head as she said the words and she subtly shifted away from Amanda.“You mean you mated with the grey wolf here? In this place?”Emma nodded.“What happened?”“Gibson brought them in about five years ago. I don’t know where they came from but they were both injured. None of us even thought that they would actually even survive but they did. And when Gibson was sure that they weren’t going to die, he put the stakes in their brains so that he could try to control them and use them.”Amanda waited and watched the woman’s posture and expres
She heard the grey wolf give a little growl at her words and his mate snickered softly.Cole turned his head and fixed a death glare on the grey wolf.Amanda laughed again softly and cupped his cheek with her palm. “Shh. It’s alright. He was just being playful.” She grew somewhat somber then and sighed softly. “I want this place wiped clean. I don’t want to leave one single person alive unless they are victims like these three. We kill all of the bastards that run this place and we sweep the entire area for prisoners. Yes?”Cole bowed his head once and then nuzzled her ear and then he turned his body around and crouched down low to the ground.Amanda climbed onto his back and wrapped her arms around his neck. She let out a heavy sigh. She was safe now. He had come to get her and now she was safe.Cole issued a growl to the others and they ran down the hallway to join the rest of the wolves that were still fighting. We’re going to take you and the blonde up to the surface and then we’r
“Oh nothing, we’re just making room. I still have more questions for you though, if you’re still willing to answer them of course.”The man moved forward but he stopped again at those words. “Well? Go on. I’m getting quite tired of standing here.”“Well, you said that Hollywood has it wrong and wolves cannot transmit their ability to shift forms. If it can’t be transmitted in that way, why do you think that the key to their healing abilities lies in something that can even be researched and discovered? I mean, if that were the case, wouldn’t their ability to shift be something that they could transmit through a scratch or a bite or something like that?”Amanda saw the grey wolf’s ear twitch and turn slightly toward the other end of the hall. Amanda still couldn’t hear them but she knew that the wolves must be able to hear them already.The scientist stood there for a moment looking stumped. His brows knit, then rose, then he frowned and his face began to turn a shade of reddish-purple
Something happened earlier when you began to feel the other wolves and move things with your mind? There was some kind of explosion. We felt it all the way out where we were when it happened. It was like some sort of shockwave. They felt it too and they all came.That’s crazy.Yeah. It’s crazy and I’ve never heard anything like it even in our legends which I used to think were mostly old stories the elders made up to try to keep young wolves in line.We’re coming in now.Amanda lifted her shoulders in a careless shrug. “They’re not your pets. They’re people and they are a whole hell of a lot better people than you.”The man scoffed and reached into his lab coat and pulled a gun from a hidden holster. He pointed it at the black wolf. “This gun is loaded with silver bullets. That does kill your kind. One of the few things Hollywood actually did get right.”“It’s a shame you had to go and ruin my pets. They used to do such a good job. They’ve killed hundreds maybe even thousands of their
